Abstract
A device including a resonant array of a plurality of synthetic jet generators where neighboring jet generators are coupled, resulting in the potential for constructive and destructive interference between jets of the plurality of synthetic jet generators depending on the relative phase of a corresponding plurality of drive signals to plurality of synthetic jet generators. The device also includes a controller configured to control the relative phase of the corresponding plurality of drive signals to effect a change in a first jet emitted by a first synthetic jet generator of the plurality of synthetic jets by changing a given phase of a second jet emitted by a second synthetic jet generator of the plurality of synthetic jet generators.
Claims21
A device comprising:
- a resonant array of a plurality of synthetic jet generators where neighboring jet generators are coupled;
- and
- a controller configured to control a relative phase of a corresponding plurality of drive signals to effect a change in a first jet emitted by a first synthetic jet generator of the plurality of synthetic jet generators by changing a given phase of a second jet emitted by a second synthetic jet generator of the plurality of synthetic jet generators, wherein the given phase is different from a phase of the first jet emitted by the first synthetic jet generator of the plurality of synthetic jet generators.
A system for phase tailoring resonant flow devices, comprising:
- a data processing system using a controller configured to:
- transmit a first drive signal to a first synthetic jet generator to produce a first synthetic jet;
- transmit a second drive signal to a second synthetic jet generator to produce a second synthetic jet;
- and
- control a combined operation of the first synthetic jet and the second synthetic jet by adjusting a phase difference between the first drive signal and the second drive signal.
A computer program product for training a primary machine learning model, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage media;
- first program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for generating a first synthetic jet using a first synthetic jet generator;
- second program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for generating a second synthetic jet using a second synthetic jet generator that is coupled to the first synthetic jet generator;
- third program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, for controlling, using a controller coupled to both the first synthetic jet generator and the second synthetic jet generator, the first synthetic jet and the second synthetic jet.
